Hi!
I understand that you want to add latitude and longitude data to the existing metadata of an image and save it along with the image file.
It appears that you are considering using the "run_exiftool" wrapper for this task. However, based on my knowledge, the "run_exiftool" wrapper copies the entire metadata from a reference image, which may not be desirable in your situation.
Alternatively, you can explore using the TIFF object to accomplish your goal. The TIFF object provides the ability to modify and rewrite specific tags within the image metadata. To determine which tags are supported and can be utilized for adding latitude and longitude data, you can refer to the following link:
You can modify these tags repeatedly as needed, and then use the "rewriteDirectory" function to write the modified metadata to an existing directory. For more information on how to use the "rewriteDirectory" function and its capabilities, you can refer to the following link:
To learn about TIFF objects in general you can refer to the following link:
If you encounter limitations in using the supported TIFF tags for writing latitude and longitude information, you can utilize GeoTIFF objects instead. For more detailed information about GeoTIFF and its capabilities, you can refer to the following link:
Hope this helps.
